Using php with oracle http server

Hello folks
This question might have been answered on this forum, but i haven't found it yet.
Is it possible to integrate php into the apache server that is supplied with the oracle (9.2) database, the so called Oracle HTTP Server?
What technical issues are to consider and how do you do it on linux in that case? (SLES8)
Is there any support issues to consider if somebody modifies this oracle supplied http server?
Looking very much forward to some help...
Regards,
Christian

Well it was a spelling mistake in the beginning. I get the following output now:

How to isolate web applications at URL level with Oracle HTTP Server?

We have 2 machines each for oracle web cache, oracle http server and oracle application server (oc4j). We would like to host many web applications on this infrastructure. We have an issue with application/web site isolation for maintenance purposes.
We have several oc4j containers for different web sites/applications but they all use one instance of Oracle Http Server. When we need to make changes to an application/web site or introduce a new web site (URL), we change the OHS configuration and restart OHS on each of the machines.
As we have many URLs hosted on this OHS and plan to host a lot more (may be around 300), we need a way to slice and dice the URLs so that every change or any change should not need to go through a regression cycle or testing cycle for all the applications each weekend (our change window). When we used Apache earlier, we used to be able to create multiple httpd.conf (process level isolation) to cater to different applications.
We could do this with Oracle Http Server too but Oracle will not support us. I appreciate any advice or suggestion with this issue.
Thank you

Hi Joey,
A great idea! I recently presented at a local user group meeting about my WebSockets API (see the links in my signature). I've uploaded the presentation and the demo code I gave to our UG here.
I think the barrier to entry is with needing to know the web languages (e.g. html/css/js) as well as writing your LabVIEW code. I have joined the group and look forward to seeing some interesting content on there! Certainly some demos of using AJAX to make requests to Web Services and do something with the data (e.g. display on a graph) would be a good place to start.

Is my configuration correct? PHP and Oracle HTTP server

Hi all,
I have a single server running RHEL5 x86-64 and Oracle 11.1. I also have the Oracle HTTP Server which purportedly has "PHP support".
I am trying to do a basic test connect to my database, but I'm getting an error.
My test is the following:
<html>
PHP Test with Oracle<head>
<body>
<pre>
<?php
$conn = oci_connect('scott', 'tiger', 'myserver/MYDBSERVICE');
if (!$conn) {
trigger_error("Could not connect to database", E_USER_ERROR);
?>
</pre>
</body>
</html>When I open the page, I see the following:
PHP Test with Oracle
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: oci_connect() in /u01/app/oracle/product/HTTP_Server/ohs/htdocs/phptest/dtest4.php on line 6
I've also tried phpinfo() and get the following:
oci8
OCI8 Support      enabled
Revision      $Revision: apache_modules/mod_php/4.3.9/ext/oci8/oci8.c#0 $
Oracle Version      10.1
Compile-time ORACLE_HOME      /ade/svadugur_mjoyphp4311/oracle
Libraries Used      no value
Any idea what may be going on? I've looked through much documentation already before posting to no avail.
Thank you for any insight.

The oci_* names were introduced in PHP 5. In PHP 4 the equivalent connection command is ocilogon(). For other mappings see Appendix C of the free book http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/php/underground-php-oracle-manual-098250.html
I'd recommend you upgrade PHP. See "Installing OCI8 with Oracle Application Server on Linux" on p 76 of that book. Note the warnings.

Slow performance with oracle http server connecting weblogic

I have a performance issue while using Oracle HTTP server as a proxy with weblogic server. It takes 10-15 seconds to pass the requests.
I also received the error related to SSL in my error logs even though i havent configured the SSL.
please find the error received in the OHS error logs

it is visible that the while it is doing "general list trying to connect to" it takes a long time
Any pointers are highly appreciated.

Shannon,
The OHS + Weblogic installation, just means you will have an admin server, with Enterprise Manager that can manage your OHS instances. That being said:
1 - You don't have to extend any domain, since the only thing OHS will need is an Admin Server with Enterprise Manager.
2 - I (myself, I don't speak for Oracle here) have a personal preference of having stand alone OHS. If you don't know how to work with httpd.conf and mod_wl.conf, I would suggest installing a separate domain only for it, that way you can keep the weblogic turned off, and turn it on only when you need to edit any configuration.
Thanks

Installing Apex 4 on Oracle 11.2.0.3 with Oracle HTTP Server on WINDOWS

Has someone put together a cookbook on installing the above? I have tried following the documentation; but it is in dire need of updating. I have become quite confused as to how to piece together alll of the parts. Seemed much easier in 10.2...
TIA!

TIA!After a database re-install on my Windows 7 laptop 2 months ago I tried to install the HTTP server but had trouble getting it to work. After a day or two I gave up and used the EPG which works with some performance issues - pages can take many seconds to render. I think there is a conflict between the EPG and security software on the laptop but have not been able to pin down the exact problem. Anyway, the EPG is not an option for you and even Oracle does not reccommend it for production implementations. The EPG is okay for quick-and-dirty R & D but real implentation should have something better. I prefer the EPG on my laptop because the Apex listener required an extra window to be open that I was likely to close by mistake (my error yes. Reality is sometimes stupid).
I have had several sucessful installs on older versions of Apex on Oracle 9 and 10 on Windows XP using the HTTP server but always struggle with the configuration; getting the settings in the .conf file (whatever it is called now) correct remains difficult (at least for me). I keep installation notes on problems encountered and their solutions. Typical issues I encounter are
1. Incorrect configuration file settings
2. Improper loading of images
3. Missing installation steps (unlocking ANONYMOUS, for instance, or not updating the PL/SQL version).
4. Make sure the correct URL is being used
5. When using the HTTP Server making sure it is running by using its URL is very heplful
Follow the installation instructions for your platform and listener. If something does not work first review the installtion instructions very carefully, then perform web searches for answers to the problem. Except for last time when I lost patience with the HTTP server the installations have always worked.
I also find Windows 7 painful - the added security prevents me from editing needed files without jumping through hoops. I don't even want to think about Windows 8 ...

Oracle HTTP Server 10.1.2.0.2 + php 5

Hi everybody
I need to know if is possible and supported, configure Php 5 (5.1.16). with Oracle HTTP Server 10.1.2.0.2
Where i can find information about this issue.
thank´s

"For Oracle Application Server 10g (9.0.4) and later releases, Oracle support is provided for mod_php in the same manner as for mod_perl, the plug-in module for Perl, another popular scripting language. While Oracle does not support the PHP interpreter and language, it does support versions of OHS which include mod_php and will assist in configuration and inclusion of mod_php into OHS. Also, Oracle will assist in diagnosing some PHP problems and will forward PHP interpreter bugs to the relevant open source development organizations." [1]

Use apache webserver instead of oracle http server in EPM 11.1.20?

Is it possible to configure enterprise performance management 11.1.20 with apache webserver instead of using the default oracle http server and if so, can someone point me to the instructions for how to set this up?

Wow. You really need to keep going back to check the certification matrix, huh. The version I have shows that Apache is supported. Apparently that was deleted on 7/28.
I don't think it should matter much, though, since Oracle HTTP server is Apache under the covers.I ran into this when I had to use the IBM HTTP web server, which is also Apache under the covers. when you look at httpd.conf, it looks just like Apache. So, I would guess that whatever configuration you did with the Apache web server you will also be able to do with the Oracle web server.

Mod_oc4j Oracle HTTP Server 10.1.2.0.2

Hi!!
In this moment i made a installation in HA environment of Oracle AS 10gr2, but now i need plug a cluster the oc4j 10gr3 to this environment.
The question is: if i have a cluster in the web layer with Oracle HTTP Server 10g r2, can i use the Mod_oc4j to redirect request to the oc4j 10gr3 cluster? or i need install the Oracle HTTP Server 10gr3 for do it?
Any doc
Thanks in advance!!!

Hmm interesting question. Theoretically, I don't see why not, but the question is that 10.1.3 is a loose cluster managed by opmn and dcm so I don't know if the "cluster" option will still work. Why not give it a try "cluster:clustername" check the HA guide/clustering guide on mod_oc4j syntax. Also try indvidual 10.1.3 names.
Please let me know how things work out for you...I would like to follow up on this...
Thanks,
Deepak

Oracle HTTP Server as web tier for OBIEE - Best Practices?

Hi All,
A bit of a cross-topic issue - IHAC which wants to add a web tier (in a form of additional DMZ server with Oracle HTTP Server installed) to existing OBIEE installation.
Are there any best practices regarding all the security aspects - installations, ports, SSL, certificates, keystores etc. ?
Thank you in advance,
Roman

Am not using weblogic, I'm doing standalone setup
Standalone:
FMW 11g Web-Tier products are configured without a domain and administered from the command line. In this case, be sure to UN-check the selection for “Associate to WebLogic Domain” during the installation prompts and uncheck the web cache.. Only OHS is installed.
Is it possible to install sun jdk 64 bit on AIX 7.1 machine.. ?

Oracle HTTP Server + PHP

Does anyone know how to enable PHP support on Oracle HTTP Server (from Oracle DB Companion CD)? I tried to compile PHP on it, bet I get the following error:
Configuring SAPI modules
checking for AOLserver support... no
checking for Apache 1.x module support via DSO through APXS...
Sorry, I was not able to successfully run APXS. Possible reasons:
1. Perl is not installed;
2. Apache was not compiled with DSO support (--enable-module=so);
3. 'apxs' is not in your path. Try to use --with-apxs=/path/to/apxs
The output of /u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/cp_1/Apache/Apache/bin/apxs follows
ld.so.1: /u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/cp_1/Apache/Apache/bin/httpd: fatal: libdms2.so: open failed: No such file
or directory
apxs:Error: Sorry, no DSO support for Apache available
apxs:Error: under your platform. Make sure the Apache
apxs:Error: module mod_so is compiled into your server
apxs:Error: binary `/u01/app/oracle/product/10.1.0/cp_1/Apache/Apache/bin/httpd'.
configure: error: Aborting
Oracle HTTP server does not have DSO support, is there some possibility to enable it? Or there exists another way to enable PHP support on Oracle HTTP server.

Could you paste the full command line you used to run the configure script? My initial guess is that you didn't specify the full path to Apache's apxs (usually located somewhere around "$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin/apxs"). Among other things, try making sure you've specified "--with-apxs=$ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/bin/apxs" on the command line.
If you don't know where apxs might be, you can also usually try finding apxs with "find / -name apxs > find.out". If you have "find" on your flavor of *n?x, this will output all files exactly matching the name "apxs" to a file named "find.out" in your current directory. You can usually view the file by running "cat find.out" on the command line. Look for lines in the file with "Apache" on them and/or your Oracle install directory (or $ORACLE_HOME).

How to integrate Oracle Http Server with Weblogic

Weblogic supports Apache web server 2.0 and 2.2 to be a proxy server. Oracle Http Server (OHS) is based on Apache 2.0. I am trying to configure Weblogic to use OHS that comes with OAS install as proxy on Linux environment. I am unable to get the WLS plugin for Apache to work with OHS. When I tried to start the OHS, I got the following errors:
/oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_3/Apache/Apache/bin/apachectl startssl: execing httpd
Syntax error on line 1125 of /oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_3/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_3/Apache/Apache/libexec/mod_wl128_20.so into server: /oracle/product/10.1.3.1/OracleAS_3/Apache/Apache/libexec/mod_wl128_20.so: undefined symbol: apr_pool_cleanup_null
I checked the library, and I found in several places, such as /usr/lib.
The following is the configuration that I put in http.conf file:
<IfModule mod_weblogic.c>
WebLogicCluster 127.0.0.1:7001
MatchExpression /AIP
</IfModule>
<Location /weblogic>
SetHandler weblogic-handler
WebLogicCluster 127.0.0.1:7001
DebugConfigInfo ON
PathTrim /weblogic
</Location>
Anybody knows how to fix this?
Thanks.

You're right: Weblogic supports Apache web server 2.0 and 2.2 to be a proxy server but you are using Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1.0 which is based on Apache *1.3* as you can read in "Oracle® HTTP Server Administrator's Guide"
10g (10.1.3.1.0) - Part Number B28948-01 - 1.1 Oracle HTTP Server Features, right under "Based on Apache - HTTP v1.1 Support" at
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B31017_01/web.1013/b28948/overview.htm#i1008837.
As far as I know, the only OHS based on Apache *2.0* is available as a standalone release: "Oracle HTTP Server (Apache 2.0) (10.1.3.3.0) for Linux x86" - 32bit. You can download it from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle11g/111060_linuxsoft.html (as_101330_apache2_lnx.zip).
I've tested it successfully.

Mod_osso behavior differences with 10gR3 Oracle HTTP Server 2

We have an install of standalone 10gR3 Oracle HTTP Server 2 (i.e. the Apache 2 version), and have noticed that the behavior of mod_osso is different than the regular 10gR3 Oracle HTTP Server (i.e. the Apache 1 version).
We use the following in our mod_osso.conf:
<Location /somepath>
AuthType Basic
require valid-user
</Location>
First Difference: With OHS 2, when we go to /somepath, we get the error "missing AuthName" in the Apache logs.
So, we set an AuthName. Now, our mod_osso.conf looks like this:
<Location /OnDemand>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Oracle Single Sign On"
require valid-user
</Location>
Second Difference: Now, we we go to /somepath, Apache returns a 401, which causes the browser to prompt for credentials! We can enter anything we want in the dialog, and everything will continue as normal (i.e. redirects to the Oracle SSO Server to prompt for credentials, etc).
So, our question is: Why these behavior differences in 10gR3 OHS 2? It almost seems as if it's using an old 9i mod_osso!
Thanks,
- Bill

Okay, we figured it out.
Apparently, the three "LoadModule mod_auth*" lines in OHS 2 httpd.conf need to be commented out.
Now mod_osso is working exactly as with OHS 1.

Use oracle http server to configure mod_plsql

Hi,
I have a question.
I have already installed HTTP server using the Oracle Database10g Companion CD
on my Windows 2000 SP4.
At the end of the installation, it refers to http://<computer_name>:7777
to open the HTTP server page.
It seems work fine that it showed the Welcome page of HTTP Server and I find this
"Oracle HTTP Server is the Web server component of Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2). Oracle HTTP Server is a robust, reliable Web server based on the Apache HTTP Server, version 1.3."
But I could'nt do anything of using the mod_plsql components nor another
Modules (mods) which showed in the welcome page since there is no link to such things.
BTW, I have experienced with the HTTP server previously on Oracle9i
When I open the HTTP server page, it showed links to some Modules (mods)
components such as mod_plsql, etc.
Does the HTTP Server in this version need to be configured to use the links like in Oracle9i's HTTP Server?
Or the new Oracle HTTP server does not support for this thing?
Actually, I worked on Oracle Workflow, which need the Oracle HTTP server to configure
some few things such as DAD.
Please, can anybody help me to solve this problem.
Thanks,
Buntoro
